Also, Airlift is on the car. Only reason I don't have pictures are because I had to rush back to school for a group project. Air lines are routed, but still need heat shielding and clamped into their final place. Wiring is temporarily ran wherever and nothing is bolted down in the trunk yet. Wish I had time to at least put the wheels on and air out.

Thanksgiving break will be the time the next time I'm home and I'll make everything look presentable and then Winter break will be making the trunk look prettier.

Haven't really had the chance to do much with it. There's a tiny leak on the line from tanks to manifold, just need a new line. But even with that, compressors took no time at all to build 150psi. Definitely going to enjoy it and I look forward to finishing it up and seeing how the ride is.

What seats do you have your eyes on?

Ive been on the hunt for fixed back since my cornea because thats my only option to get my passenger seat lower.

But I had to break the guys heart and tell his that his Recaros are replicas. I genuinely think that he thought it was real

Stock leather touring.
Bride reps.
Corbeau CR1.
Braum Advan.
In that order, and as I said, Im on the search to add some fixed back seats to that list.

Keep in mind I got the Bride seats about a year ago, so its all relatively recent.

Unfortunately , the tdxv2 is not coming off. I wasn't able to find someone with an oem exhaust to trade. The art pipes will be coming off however. They are the v3 versions. Installed Oct 2014 and probably put about 6000 miles on them.

If anybody is interested I can send pics once they're off the car.

unfortunately it may be too late. I have someone coming over tonight to check out the car. If he likes it he'll be driving off with it.

If the deal falls through though I'll PM you and we can work something out.

Good luck, hopefully it's a smooth transaction...

Craig you find a way to use a torque wrench on those driveshaft bolts? My diff was kinda a ***** to line back up and get the bolts in... I was working on the ground though your situation seems much better.

Yea i didnt have any problem doing the diff. It was MUCH easier on the lift but we did my car on the ground.

The only hard part of our process was swapping the bushing out for a whiteline poly bushing

Yeah getting those bushings out is the worst part, I was also nervous that my inside the sunframe nut was going to let loose. I think the impact is what saved me.

We got the old bushing out fine. What took us a while was that the metal housing of the old bushing was still in my subframe (only the rubber part came out at first) and we had no idea why we couldn't get the poly bushing in.

Once we realized the old metal housing was in there, the swap was easy.

Also just made a for sale ad on here for most of the parts I have left
